1 Corinthians 1:18-29 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

CKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

18 G1063 For G3056 the preaching G4716 of the cross G2076 is G3588 to them G622 that perish G3303 G3472 foolishness; G1161 but G2254 unto us G4982 which are saved G2076 it is G1411 the power G2316 of God.

19 G1063 For G1125 it is written, G622 I will destroy G4678 the wisdom G4680 of the wise, G2532 and G114 will bring to nothing G4907 the understanding G4908 of the prudent.

20 G4226 Where G4680 is the wise? G4226 where G1122 is the scribe? G4226 where G4804 is the disputer G5127 of this G165 world? G3780 has not G2316 God G3471 made foolish G4678 the wisdom G5127 of this G2889 world?

21 G1063 For G1894 after that G1722 in G4678 the wisdom G2316 of God G2889 the world G1223 by G4678 wisdom G1097 knew G3756 not G2316 God, G2106 it pleased G2316 God G1223 by G3472 the foolishness G2782 of preaching G4982 to save G3588 them G4100 that believe.

22 G1894 For G2532 G2453 the Jews G154 require G4592 a sign, G2532 and G1672 the Greeks G2212 seek G4678 after wisdom:

23 G1161 But G2249 we G2784 preach G5547 Christ G4717 crucified, G2453 unto the Jews G3303 G4625 a stumblingblock, G1161 and G1672 unto the Greeks G3472 foolishness;

24 G1161 But G846 unto them G3588 which G2822 are called, G5037 both G2453 Jews G2532 and G1672 Greeks, G5547 Christ G1411 the power G2316 of God, G2532 and G4678 the wisdom G2316 of God.

25 G3754 Because G3474 the foolishness G2316 of God G2076 is G4680 wiser G444 than men; G2532 and G772 the weakness G2316 of God G2076 is G2478 stronger G444 than men.

26 G1063 For G991 you see G5216 your G2821 calling, G80 brothers, G3754 how that G3756 not G4183 many G4680 wise men G2596 after G4561 the flesh, G3756 not G4183 many G1415 mighty, G3756 not G4183 many G2104 noble, are called:

27 G235 But G2316 God G1586 has chosen G3474 the foolish things G2889 of the world G2443 to G2617 confound G4680 the wise; G2532 and G2316 God G1586 has chosen G772 the weak things G2889 of the world G2443 to G2617 confound G3588 the things G2478 which are mighty;

28 G2532 And G36 base things G2889 of the world, G2532 and G3588 things G1848 which are despised, G1586 has G2316 God G1586 chosen, G2532 Yes, and G3588 things G5607 which are G3361 not, G2443 to G2673 bring to nothing G3588 things G5607 that are:

29 G3704 That G3956 no G3361 G4561 flesh G2744 should glory G1799 in G846 his G1799 presence.
